Going Back To School At 36 Years Old

So I have been keeping this quiet since January, but I figured now I can announce it.  I am officially enrolled to go back to school.  I started the enrollment at TMCC (Truckee Meadows Community College) in January and not that the tuition is paid and books are bought and enrollment is complete I feel confident that I'm not backing out now.  LOL  I start school for the 1st Summer Session which happens to start the Tuesday after I get back from my cruise. My first day back to work after vacation is also my first day of school.  Eeks!!   Good timing huh??  LOL 

I am feeling pretty good about it.  I have actually already registered for a summer session 1 class, Summer Session 2 class and also registered for my classes for the Fall Semester.  I'm ready to go.  

I was very lucky that all of m credits from my time at University of Phoenix transferred so I have most of my gen-ed credits already.  

The only part that really sucks is now it is required to have 14 credits of a foreign language to receive you AA.  Ugh.  Of course this would happen.  Boys and Girls, This is why it never pays to put things off and procrastinate.  Now I have no chocie but to get through these.  Which of course equals 4 semesters so this is going to take 2 years at the minimum no matter what. They may be the only classes I'm taking those last semsters but it is still going to be what hold me up.  Oh well.  Best to get it started now so I can get it done and transfer back to UNR (University of Nevada, Reno) quicker. 

Here is to learning and becoming educated!!! :)  

Childhood Memories.

So, my BFF found some film in a box recently and decided to get it developed to see what was on it.  She texts me yesterday to say "Guess what pictures I just got developed!!!!"  I knew based on the word developed that they were clearly old.  I soon get an email of some them and I see they are pics of a trip we took several years ago to my old neighborhood in Santa Clara, California.  We took pictures of my old house and my old elementary school.  I almost fell over.  Wow!!!  Not only was this trip somewhere around 7 years ago, but seeing the house and school again was so strange.  Just as strange as it was that day I am sure.  So I thought I would share them.

This house seemed sooooooo much bigger when I was 10 years old.  I can't believe how tiny it is. But then again, I guess everything seems bigger when you are only 10.  ;) I remember riding my bike up and down this street for hours every night, and roller skating one time, when I fell and bruised my tailbone. The street was always full of kids and we were ALWAYS getting into some sort of trouble or into things we shouldn't have been.  Good times!

Scott Lane Elementary School.  I went here from 2nd grade till 4th grade when I then moved to Nevada. Lots and lots of memories of this school.  I remember all of my teachers so well from here.  I even remember going back about 2 years after I moved and visiting with one of my favorite teachers.

It is so strange to see pictures of places from your past.  It's like you get flooded with the memories that accompany the places. Not to mention.....  They make you feel really old.  LOL
